recalled. There is another organization
OF telegraphers, embracing those
doing commercial work, ard the
Electric Age, their official organ,
gives the order of Railway Telegrsphers
the following graceful notice: The order
of Railway Telegraphers is meeting with
much success so far as member
ship is concerned in every section of the
United States. The Baltimore assembly
contains no less than 1856 members. Batter
prise and push has accomplished this eX-
cellent work. The commercial branch Of
the fraternity will not go astray If 1t
would only pattern after these people. To
hold a position in the o. r. T. is consid-
cred CREST honor. Every branch of the
order is strong numerically and financial
ly, and it seems as though every individ-
ual member was vieiDg with one another
in the effort to accomplish the greatest
good. What difference there Is between
the workings of this organization
and of the Brotherhood of Teleg-
rsphers. The railroad men be-
lieVe that IS much good can be accom-
plished by the order at times when every
thing is quiet, as when questions OF mo-
ment are being agitated, while the COM
mercisl men have no use for an organiZs-
ton, unless their employers threaten to
enforce reduction Of wages. The rail
readers in time of peace prepare for war,
the commercial men, who are in constant
wars, are seldom prepared to intelligently
meet the questions which arise continually.

MOsI's DIFFICULTY.
The CLAUSE Hs Is Indicted Under-Che
Evidences Against Him

NEW YORK, Nov % The work OF get
ting jury 20 try Johann Most was con-
tiuued this morning, and shortly sfteI
noon twelve men had been secured who
were satisfactory to both sides. The
| iary was then sworn.
Assistant District Attorney Nicoll
opened the case for the people. The
language the prosecution will endeavor
to prove Most as having used is "every
person concerned IN the tragedy (the
hanging CT the Chicago anarchists is
marked for destruction. A revolution is
at hand. Why not begin tonight? Again
say, arm yourselves for the revolution.
| Our arm is the bomb Which is stronger
than the Calling gun or other Wespons.
+ 1t kills fifty at once. GriRnel shall be
| first, and then comes Carey, the judges
of the United States Supreme court. and
let not Oglesby think he'll escape because
ne commuted two of them"
Mr.. Nlcoll told the jury that the clause
of the penal code under which the indict-
ment was brought provided that any
assembly of three or more persons at
which was threatened any unlawful act
wss an unlawful assembly, and the par
Elephants were guilty Of a misdemeanor.
There would doubtless be great deSl
said about the constitution of free speech,
but the same constitution provided that
the abuse of free speech should be
punished. Mr. Nicoll seid his witnesses
were Detectives Sachs and Smith and
Dryfus, a reporter for the City Press As
socIstion, all of whom understood Ger
man and had made notes of the meetings.
Colonel Fellows will sum up the case for
the pros cution.
Detective Smith was the first witness
called. He told how he and his brother
officers were present at the meeting in
disguise, and gave detailed account of
what was said and done. Sachs corrobo-
rated Smith in full.
The cross examination Of SAKE was be-
gun by Mr.. Howe. An effort wss made
to show that the witness had given differ
ent testimony before the grand jury.
The witness had not given bis account of
the meeting so full as at the trial and he
admitted having made mistake before
the grand jury in saying Most began his
speech with the words, "Fellow Slaves"
The words he used were "Bruder anarch-

THE FIRE RECORD.
Forest Fires Doing Immense Damage in
Missouri, Arkansas and Illinois.

Tremendous Destruction of Property.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, Nov. 23.-For q week
past this city has been elveloped in some
degree with smoke from forest fires which
are burning within radius of fifty miles.
To-day is as dark as dusk with rain
mingling with the smoke obscuring the
sun which has only been perceptible as 8
large red disk which could be gazed at
with IMMUNITY. Rain there has been
none since President Cleveland entered
this city on October l I'M
til last night when consider
able water fell. This 1t is hoped has
extended over the burning areas and
will quench the fires and relieve the
suffering people. Reports from Hills
boro, Donnellson, VAUDEVILLE, OleaDds,
Watersburg, bay bottoms in the vicinity
of Warrensburg, Tuscols, Belleville.
the Silver creek aud the Okaw river
bottoms and at Edwardsville, all in
Illinois, tell of dense smoke and burn
ing timber and pasture fences by the
mile, and rails by the thousands
were being burned. Railroad bridges,
telegraph poles. piles of railroad cross
ties and cord wood have been consumed.
Dry leaves and grass of pastures are daily
ignited by passing trains, and farmers
gre fighting flames continually with
blankets and scythes and axes. Many
barns and some homes have succumoed
to the devnuring element. The cry every
where Is "No rsin," "No water" The
drouth is deplorable. From Little Rock,
Hot Springs, Helena, Holly Grove and
all along the Arkansas Midland Railroad
kilograms announce the destruction OF
forests, pastures. fences and saw mills,
cotton gins and stores OF cotton. Pass
ing trains ignite the woods and flames
soon return to the railroads and con-
sumo bridges and freight cars standing on
the isolated side stracks. Near 81 lena,
Ark, last night $500 worth of cotton
was consumed in that way. Missouri is
also affected TO some extent, and dense
smoke impregnates the atmosphere
through the sou heastern part OF the
state. Steam boat men report fires on

GALVESTON, TEX, Nov. % Interest
to-day conferred in the O'Dell murder
case and rapid progress was made under
the ruling of Judge Ktttrell. The State
produced fourteen Witnesses, chief OF
whom were J. T. Owen, j. 81. Holt and
II. F. Bailey, sll of whom were eye wit
nesses to the killing. Owen testified thai
O'Dell and Q1inlan were engaged
in fist fight when Slmm-

ond thereafter Slmms struck Quinlan or
the head with pistol, whereupon Quin.
Ian ran for the door. followed bv O'Den,
saw O'Deu shoot Quinlsn es the latter
in his hands, and that after QuInlan
fell witness took pains to examine
the body and the surrounding fIor for
the purpose of finding any weapons
Quinlan might have had, but he was posi-
Tive deceased had no weapons. This was
vital point In the case, and as Holt ap-
peared to testify under restraint his
evidence made g great impression
on the spectators. Bailey also went
over the detsils of the tragedy,
corroborating Holt about the defenseless
condition of the murdered man IS he ran
and was being riddled with bullets. The
state put up strong case against the
prisoner.
One of the first witnesses called by the
defense WAS Simms, who admitted, on
cross examination, that he saw no knife
or other weapon In Quinlan's hands and
he believed O'Dell struck the first
blow. A negro bootblsck swore
he saw knife or other
weapon in Quiulan's hand; he believes
O'Dell struck the first blow. A negro
bootblack swore he saw the knife lying
beside Quinlan's body.
Evidence was ended this evening and
argument at once begun. The court is
holding night sessions and it is thought
the case will be given to the jury about l
o'clock ana verdict is looked for to-
morrow.

Tyranny Of the Boycott.
New York Star.
Mayor Hewitt yesterday sent the fol.
lowing communication to 8 workingman,
whose name he refused to give, who had
written to him stating that he was unable
to procure work because he had been
boycotted by certain labor organizations

render no assistance whatever.
"The boycott is unlawful, and If you
can prove conspiracy on the part of any
men or body of men to deprive you OF
the right to earn an honest living, it is
the duty of the District Attorney to take

are indicted. to prosecute and convict

They take the risk of having their business
stopped by employing man who is IN
